The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently

assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings and normal body hair. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the 1024 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?

Answer:

It is expected to obtain 576 individuals with normal wings and body with normal hair, 192 with normal wings and hairy body, 192 with vestigial wings and body with normal hair, and 64 with vestigial wings and hairy body.

Explanation:

Since only the wild-type of the offspring cross each other and since the parents have antagonistic phenotypic characters for each gene, all the progeny produced in the F1 is heterozygous with VgvgHh genotype, where

Vg: Normal wings.

eg: Vestigial wings.

H: Body with normal hair.

h: Hairy body.

Once F1 reproduces with each other, the Mendelian proportions 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, 1/16 expected in the F2 generation are produced.

Since in total there were 1024 individuals in the offspring, this amount is multiplied by the expected proportions, giving rise to the mentioned result.

3) identify and describe three abiotic characteristics of ecosystems. Give an example of how each
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The abiotic characteristics of an ecosystem that affects man includes: Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity.

Explanation:

In the ecosystem, man occupies the terrestrial habitat which is affected by the abiotic factors listed above.

Abiotic (non- living) factors determine the type of biotic (living) community that is found in an ecosystem. These factors include Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity, just to mention a few.

--> LAND SURFACE: This is responsible for the marked variation in the vegetation of a place. For example, a mountain in the tropics may have a rain forest vegetation at it's base and an afroalpine vegetation near its peak. The gradient of the slope affects the growth of organisms. A steep slope encourage fast run - off of water and therefore encourages erosion, which results in shallow and infertile soil. This in turn AFFECT man's farming activities as there would be little to no crop yield.

--> RAINFALL: Water is a very important abiotic factor that affects life. The main source of water to terrestrial habitat is rainfall. When rain falls, a greater percentage of it sinks into the soil while the rest run- off into water bodies. Water is absorbed by root hairs into the plant and used for photosynthesis to produce food. The absence of rainfall in the environment of man could lead to drought which AFFECTS man negatively.

--> RELATIVE HUMIDITY: This is a measure of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. It's usually high in hot wet regions. It affects the rate at which water evaporates from the body surfaces of organisms. Low relative humidity cause more water (sweat) to evaporate from body surfaces giving the human body a cooling effect. But in high relative humidity, the sweat cannot evaporate leaving the body feeling hot and sticky. This AFFECTS man as the body tries to cool off in a harder way by increasing rate of respiration and depth of blood circulation.

Why are checkpoints important in the cell cycle​
timurjin [86]
They play an important role in the control system by sensing defects that occur during essential processes such as DNA replication or chromosome segregation, and inducing a cell cycle arrest in response until the defects are repaired.

Please help!
Otrada [13]

I do not understand your question fully because there might be some context missing to it:

Having more nuclei is not something caused by the lack of a process or stage. Some muscle cells usually fuse together, which means they become one. But before they became one, each had their own nuclei. And when they fused, each one kept their nuclei, making one cell with more than one nuclei.


Those cells are called multinucleated cells.




Hope it helped,

What is the purpose of the lab, the importance of kinetic energy, and the question you are trying to answer?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Laboratory is the place for experiment.

Explanation:

Laboratory is the place for experiment and the purpose for that is doing research and experimentation to confirm or discover new knowledge by using scientific method. Kinetic energy is very important because it has the ability to do work. It enables the body to move from one place to another. The molecules of water in the hot water has kinetic energy which able them to escape in the air against pressure of atmosphere.
